A graphical models approach for comparing gene sets
2010
Recently, a great effort in microarray data analysis has been directed towards the study of the so-called gene sets. A gene set is defined by genes that are, somehow, functionally related. For example, genes appearing in a known biological pathway naturally define a gene set. Gene sets are usually identified from a priori biological knowledge. Nowadays, many bioinformatics resources store such kind of knowledge (see, for example, the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, among others). In this paper we exploit a multivariate approach, based on graphical models, to deal with gene sets defined by pathways. Given a sample of microarray data corresponding to two experimental conditions and a pathway linking some of the genes, we investigate whether the strength of the relations induced by the functional links change among the two experimental conditions.
